If your return flight is earlier than 18.00, we'll help you get to the airport to avoid missing the flight. 

If you are flying from the uk we recommend the following airlines: WIZZAIR and RYANAIR. Both airlines fly to WROCLAW from major uk Airports. You can also look for an alternative. If you are flying from another country please check your flight details and be ready for a pick up around 18.00 from Wroclaw Airport one day before the course starts. (Pick-up times vary and may be up to 18.00 - depending on the landing time of the other participants - we'll inform you by email. If you land after 18.00 you need to make your own way to the hotel in Luban. You may hire a car, take a taxi or use public transport)

If your flight arrives early and you do not want to wait for the late pick up you can use the train to get to Luban Slaski from Wroclaw main train station and check in to the hotel early. The trip takes 2 hours and costs about 7EURO. There is a direct bus from Wroclaw Airport to the MAIN TRAIN STATION in WROCLAW and it costs around 2 EURO.

This is a recommended solution and it's used often by our students who arrive early in the morning in Wroclaw.
